Q.

The following graph represents the T-V curves of an ideal gas (where T is the temperature and V the volume) at three pressures P1,P2 and P3 compared with those of Charles's law represented as dotted lines.

Then the correct relation is                                   [2024]

1 P3>P2>P1  
2 P1>P3>P2  
3 P2>P1>P3  
4 P1>P2>P3  

Ans.

(4)

According to Charle’s law, when the pressure of a gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

i.e.,  VTVT=Constant

Therefore, the plot of V vs T is a straight line passing through the origin.

So, P1>P2>P3
